Is India a Sharia state now? Or is the Muslim voting bloc so overwhelmingly powerful that its political elites behave as if it were one in service of their own narrow self-interest? Would any Indian politician (or anyone else) ever be grilled for nine hours over the alleged desecration of the Bible or any other book held sacred in any religion?

An MLA is a member of the legislative assembly. “Quran ‘desecration’: AAP MLA grilled for 9 hrs, police claim his replies ‘contradictory,’” by Raakhi Jagga, Indian Express, July 10, 2016:

The Punjab police Saturday questioned Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Naresh Yadav, for the second time, in connection with the Quran ‘desecration’ case. After nearly nine hours of questioning at the Crime Branch office in Sangrur district, while Yadav alleged that the police “misbehaved” with him and did not even offer him a glass of water. The Punjab police have indicated that the MLA may face arrest as he gave “contradictory replies.”

Sources said a questionnaire comprising nearly 100 questions were given to Yadav.

While Yadav is yet to be formally named as an accused in the case, the Punjab police is firm that he played a role in the alleged desecration. A team of Punjab police comprising senior officers questioned him at length. Sangrur district police chief Pritpal Singh told The Sunday Express that they were “not satisfied” with Yadav’s replies.

“We are not satisfied with the replies given by the MLA. He gave contradictory replies to the same set of questions during his two interrogations. It is likely that we may arrest him in the coming days.”

AAP state convenor Sucha Singh Chhotepur, Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann and Anandpur Sahib constituency in charge Himmat Singh Shergill accompanied Yadav inside the Crime Branch office this morning. However, they were not allowed to enter the questioning room and were asked to sit in the waiting area.

After the questioning session ended, AAP leaders alleged that the Punjab police was acting at the behest of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal as the Shiromani Akali Dal was scared of the “growing popularity” of the AAP in Punjab, barely a few months before the Vidhan Sabha polls next year.

Yadav told The Sunday Express over phone, “The way Punjab police behaved with me today… it is proved that Badals are behind this entire episode. They can test their panic in the election arena rather than making religion a tool. Police made derogatory remarks at me. I am an elected representative. This kind of behaviour is unacceptable. Same questions were being asked by four officers and I was told to move from one room to another.”

Yadav entered the crime branch office located in Ladda Kothi, Sangrur district around 11 am. He came out of the office at 7.45 pm. Based on the statements given by the other three accused already arrested in the case, Vijay Kumar, Gaurav and Nand Kishore, police had given Yadav a questionnaire and asked him to reply.

Among those who questioned Yadav were Pritpal Singh Thind, SSP (Sangrur), Jaskaran Singh Teja, SP (Detective) and Jaskaran Singh Teja, SP (Operations). The three accused in the case, Vijay Kumar, Gaurav and Nand Kishore, were also questioned at the venue by the same team of police officers.

Sources said that while Vijay Kumar told police that he desecrated Quran at the behest of Yadav, the latter kept on denying this claim. Yadav told the police that he could be hanged if proven guilty.

“I can never think of doing such a thing even in my dreams. Our party respects all religions and people from all walks of life are with us,” Yadav told The Sunday Express.

He added, “I have answered all the questions truthfully and I am ready for further questioning. But I will not tolerate any kind of misbehaviour”….

Elections are due in the state and this is a second instance after the Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib was desecrated.

The needle of suspicion was pointed at Mr.Modi’s Hindu majority Party which is in a coalition with another Party and rule the State.

In order to clear the ruling coalition’s reputation,this interrogation is going on since no ruling Party wants to lose or have a communal riot sparked by such instances.It is VERY NECESSARY to determine who did this and why so the interrogation is justified.

A 72 year old Christian nun was raped in West Bengal at the Mission School/Home and again the needle of suspicion was pointed at Mr.Modi’s Party by Christians and Muslims.Ultimately,it was learnt that a gang of Bangla Deshis were involved.All minorities just kept silent.Nobody expressed regrets having suspected Modi’s Party.

Prior to the elections in the Union Territory Of New Delhi, 5-7 Churches were vandalized.Again the suspicion was on Mr.Modi’s Party.Later it was discovered that around 200 Hindu temples,10+ Mosques and 30+ Sikh Gurdwaras were too vandalized.

That explains it. I only pay cursory attention to Indian politics but what I do know is that AAP is a very pro-Muslim party (like Democrats in the US). It is very strange that their member tore up a Quran (if indeed he did)!

Having said that, a ‘communal riot’ with Muslims can happen only if there is significant population of Muslims in the area (state). If there are few Muslims, who cares if someone tore up a quran?

So the solution to this is for Hindus to do everything they can to get as many people out of Islam, and imo the most effective campaign would be to advertise and promote Hinduism (what it is and how it benefits followers, etc) to as many people as they can, and for life. The sooner the better or else there will be no end to Muslim/non-Muslim ‘communal riots’!

It’s not at all strange anybody belonging to any political Party to do these things.Any one who wants to win will do so and the blame will be apportioned to the ruling Party,if it’s considered right wing Hindu majority Party.AAP has had many low lifes among them.All political parties do as well but this outfit is quite notorious for some misdeed or another.

One State does not have to harbour many Muslims to spark riots.They are very well connected and always paranoid.Any seemingly untoward incident is reported to the Minority Commission and their brethren promptly,Cancer always begins as a single cell.

It’s very difficult to convert people back to Hinduism.There was an attempt to reconvert/revert those who were lured financially.It backfired with all political parties and even the leaders of western nations contacting the P.M.,Mr.Modi and telling him to “correct” the outfit which was trying to get the neo-converts back.Women who fall in love are the worst proposition.They just turn their backs on their parents.It’s the same in the western world( ref:-Stepping Into The Shadows by Rosemary Sookhdeo).Women love the men more than vice versa.Men,mind well,very rarely convert to the woman’s religion.

I have noticed that within 6 months of converting to Islam ,men or women start promoting virtues of Islam.I do not believe in brainwashing since no one can do so unless the subject himself/herself wants to be thus brainwashed.

there aren’t too many virtues there. i’m guessing that for that first 6 months, the devout muslims are slowly introducing the new convert to the less repulsive practices of islam. further, i’m guessing that unless the new convert is going to be a suicide bomber, he won’t be taught the most-repulsive parts at all. only when full sharia is introduced will the new convert be told everything. at that point, they might wish to reconsider their conversion, but then it will be too late, because apostates have a bullseye on their backs.

Where there is a will there is a way! I’m afraid what Hindus lack is, the will.

“I have noticed that within 6 months of converting to Islam ,men or women start promoting virtues of Islam.”

Where do they learn of “the virtues of Islam”? Answer: Someone tells them! Muslims leave enough material everywhere (online, in the mosque, community center, at home, etc) so the followers (including new converts) are certain to get exposure to it. That is how the followers learn of “the virtues of Islam”! If Muslims can do it, the Hindus should be able to do it too!

And if people know of the virtues that Hinduism promotes and see benefit in following it, they are certain to follow it and even convert, without push from “outfits”. Therefore what is needed is THE WILL to promote Hinduism.

Of course it is not going to be an easy task. Hindus would need to make it a cause and devote their entire lives to it. And I mean lots and lots of Hindus would need to devote themselves to it. Why? Because you are dealing with people who themselves have devoted their lives to their cause.

The only other option is to watch your women, your future generations, and your country fall to Islam. Is that acceptable to Hindus?

What you say rhymes well with readers’ responses to an article in Maria Wirth blog.She is a German Indophile .
The last paragraph in your reply is what the entire world not just Hindus should asking themselves.Regards

There are many differences between Abrahamic religions and Hinduism, and prosletyzing is definitely one of them. If there is indeed any real ‘Dharma’ aka religion I do not think that it should need any marketting or publicity or threats or lures of an heaveny after life. If there is indeed an all powerfull being sitting somewhere high up in the cosmos, I do not think he would need petty humans to be his PR agents. Hence yes, it is a difficult job for Hindus to go around and re-convert people back to their roots. It is not about the lack of their will, it’s just not their forte. And as Concerned Indian rightly said, re-conversions will face epic resistance from pseudo seculars and pseudo intellectuals. Not only other minorities but other Hindus will vehemently object as well. Sad.

“If there is indeed any real ‘Dharma’ aka religion I do not think that it should need any marketting or publicity or threats or lures of an heaveny after life.”

You are assuming that everyone is making equal effort to objectively search for the truth. Very few people do that. Most people follow their religions simply because they were born into it, or because someone did PR job of saying nice and ‘cool’ things to attract them. Yet others adopt (or maintain) their religion because they came across promoters like Zakir Naik and get the impression that what he is saying is true.

The shortcoming is not in the religion, it is in the people! For this reason, religions do need PR agents. If Hindus become PR agents for their religion, they will be filling the shortcoming that people have so that they (people) can learn of whatever it is that Hinduism teaches.

BTW, ‘Dharma’ does not automatically mean ‘religion’, it is something else. I did some study and wrote a short article explaining exactly what it is. You can read it here-

We need to change the terminology and the associated mentality. Do not use the terms “conversion” or “re-conversion” nor should we think (in our minds) that we are “converting” them. Hindus should be “teaching people the benefits of Sanatan Dharma”. It does not matter who those people are or what their history is.

“BTW, ‘Dharma’ does not automatically mean ‘religion’, it is something else.”
__________________________
Yes indeed, Dharma and Religion are not one and the same. In my earlier posts I did mention how ‘Dharma’ is a concept very few people can even comprehend, including Hindus themselves. Going by that logic even Hinduism is not a Dharma. Dharma in the Indian sub-continent started to decay after the introduction of ‘Puranas’ and other collateral religious texts by various other ‘Maharishis’ or sages. There was a time when Hindus mercilessly slaughtered Buddhists, Jains and other offshoots for fear of losing hegemony on religion and god. So, if you ask me, I think the root cause of all our problems is religion (and yes religion does have problems, truckloads of it) ; an overdose of it to be precise. There is already a plethora of religions and their PR agents in the market; we definitely do not need more being shoved down our throats. What we can and should do is highlight the evils of any religion and demand their omission. ‘Sati Pratha’ among Hindus does not exist any more. And slowly but surely we are doing away with the evil of ‘Jati Bhed’/ ‘Varna Vibhajan’/ Caste system as well.

And I am glad that you studied about Vedic Dharma. Comparative religious studies does bring out the many farces of religions and helps one to stay as far away from them as possible (i.e. if one wishes too). I am sure that logic and common sense will prevail and not religious hodgy podgy and its ugly implications. Have a nice day.

Is this true? What statute is this and when and by whom was it enacted? If you can link to a page explaining this, I’d appreciate it. And is there nothing in India like a 5th Amendment right not to witness against oneself and remain silent

Sorry for the delay in responding.He can’t be hanged for this.He was just exaggerating.This kind of expression is very common.Even some M.P.s of had offered their heads if they are proved wrong ,in some other matters of course.They always exaggerate.Don’t take it literally.

I don’t really know since many things are yet not clear.Hopefully,they will be soon.Any allegation made now will be refuted and challenged since all are equally shameless.These t5hings are carried out in such a way that the handler is somebody else and he can always challenge any charge since he does not leave any evidence,having told just a single person to get things done and that person forms a chain of several single interlocutors and the cahin does not lead anywhere.

No Nation should favor one religion over another. For in one of the religion, there is a Crime Against Humanity.. What right do we as Civilized people give a religion the rights to kill other people who do not go along with your beliefs..

This is wrong. It is wrong to practice the ways of sins. Honor Killing is still murder and Pedophiles are evil people harming the little ones… Where do these old men come up with justifying their sinful ways .

The people of Islamic faith are very evil in my beliefs. l can not even understand why any one want laws to harm women,children,animals and unarmed men and all non- believers to their way of beliefs..

Islam , Black Lives Matter, Black Panthers and all these people want to force their beliefs on to the world.. It is crazy. They will kill you over their beliefs. Muslims Brotherhood is a belief that are crimes against humanity . And if you look at these people closely.. they are people believing in Communism.. A Babylonian system of pure evil.. They want to st all people back to centuries of torture and slavery.

this is insane! I thought India was a secular democracy with freedom of religion? One should be able to do any thing to a Koran that they want to including wiping ones a** with it if they choose- as long the koran belongs to them!

India IS a secular democracy with freedom of religion. But one religion (which is the largest minority in India) gets special treatment.
But savvy readers know that islam ALWAYS gets special treatment whether it is in India or in any other country, whether it is in the west or east, and more importantly, whether it is the minority religion of that country or a majority religion………..ISLAM ALWAYS GET PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT.

After the questioning session ended, AAP leaders alleged that the Punjab police was acting at the behest of Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and his son and Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal as the Shiromani Akali Dal was scared of the “growing popularity” of the AAP in Punjab, barely a few months before the Vidhan Sabha polls next year.

So… it’s the Indian equivalent of Ted Cruz’s traffic tickets or Trump’s University?

It’s hard for my mind to grapple with this kind of insanity over a book–but that’s islam. It’s frightening to think that this kind of inquisitional violence can operate in this day and age. And we have politicians trying to play peacemaker with this profound ignorance. We in the west are asked to completely halt our own advance toward better human rights and democracy cuz islam is still in its retarded stage. We must compromise our own values of freedom, equality, and pursuit of happiness, because it would be impolite to value our own ideals over the murderous and bigoted views of their god. And if we do speak out in defense of our values and culture we are bigots, racists, and islamophobes. So it’s obvious the west is moving in a direction that will lead us to the same inquisitional terror. If western politicians don’t have the courage to shut the door when islamic bigotry knocks then they won’t have the courage to deal with it later. Once this madness takes hold in our society we will have invited the devil in, and there will be consequences.

“Boy, you knock on the devil’s door and he will head slam you through the wall.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, No Mercy

I think we’re knocking on the devil’s door with islam. We need to shut that door or I’m quite sure we’re going to get a very bad head slam into islam’s wall of hate.

it’s pretty much worse than U ever thought. islam is not just “in its retarded stage;” there is no way for it to ever escape that stage. islam turns morality on its head, calling evil good and good evil. the devil’s door was opened 1400 years ago, and this evil criminal cult was unleashed on an unsuspecting world. the people infected with this terrible poisonous disease need to be quarantined, and only allowed limited contact with the west. western republics are foolishly sealing their doom by allowing millions of criminally-minded cultists to cross their borders. we either stop this, or become dhimmi or muslim. there are no other choices.

personally, i believe that leftist leaders in the west are hoping to seize control of their States by introducing chaos and death, so that the affected populations beg for the State to “do something.” that something will be martial law that will never be rescinded. the populace of the western nations don’t suspect a thing, because they have generations of previous rulers who respected the law; they don’t realize the evil that they have put at the helm of the State.

i believe that’s the plan, anyway. what is likely to happen is probably a bloody 3-way civil war, with leftists versus ordinary citizens versus jihadis. since ordinary westerners don’t usually plot the deaths of others, leftists and muslims have an advantage. most leftists, however, aren’t willing to be quite as brutal as muslims (at least, not at first), nor are they anywhere near as willing to die for their cause, so the muslims have another advantage. there are lots more of the ordinary folk, however, so perhaps we will be able to throw out the leftists (or throw the traitors into prison) and send the muslims back to their natal hellholes. that’s what i’m praying for, anyway.

The Supreme Court of India on Monday 3 March 2014, dismissed a public interest litigation (PIL) by Advocate M L Sharma seeking intervention by the court in directing the Election Commission to curb hate speeches. Dismissing the plea, the Apex court said that it could not curb the fundamental right of the people to express themselves.

“We cannot curtail fundamental rights of people. It is a precious right guaranteed by Constitution,” a bench headed by Justice RM Lodha said, adding “we are a mature democracy and it is for the public to decide. We are 1280 million people and there would be 1280 million views. One is free not to accept the view of others”. Also the court said that it is a matter of perception, and a statement objectionable to a person might be normal to another person.

There is a blasphemy law still in India which was introduced by the British.

Section 295 of the Indian Penal Code criminalises insult to religion; it allows up to three years imprisonment and fines for “whoever, with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India, by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by visible …

There is indeed a blasphemy law in India, but it would be very remarkable when a case like this would even lead to prosecution. Between 1953 and 2012 no such cases have been reported from India. Let’s keep to the facts, folks.

Partition is instructive. There were legitimate issues on both sides, both Muslim and Hindu, pertaining to the Raj colonialism… But in a nutshell, Muslims waged Jihad to confiscate lands shared by many faiths, and demanded it for the own. An estimated 2 million were slaugheterd in the “process”, and Muslims were rewarded for their violence and intolerance with their freshly minted Islamic dominions.

Again, in a nutshell, Ghandi et al saw it as a tragedy that Muslims would want to leave, and this, combined with the realities on the ground, meant that despite the violence, a very large coterie of Muslims stayed behind, and never removed to their newly minted Muslim state(s).

Move forward almost exactly 70 years. Look up India and see her demographics today. Those Muslims who remained behind have wage Jihad ever since. India now boasts a HUGE seething mob of genocidal Muslims. Now look at Pakistan. The last I checked, it is something like 97% Muslim today.

One nation behaved “tolerantly” towards the Muslim minority, took pity, gave them what they demanded, and failed to ex]ject every last Muslim.

The other nation did what Muslim mobs always do. Waged genocide against the local population until they were exterminated, or forced to “convert” to Islam out of sheer exhaustion.

Every Muslim community now occupying Western domains is a node for more Muslim genocides.

This so called Legislator from a small ridiculous political party of India called AAP, supported by Muslims, attempted to create a riot successfully by instigating that someone tore QURAN pages in Punjab state of India where a tiny minority of Muslims live. The plan of this man was to blame a National party that usually works for all Indians. The Muslims are a problem in every single corner of the world.

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is a crypto communist party that supports jihadis and communist terrorists. They are well known for using such tactics.

They have deliberately desecrated the koran and Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib to create communal tensions and blame the ruling coalition in the state (where its election year) and the ruling BJP govt at the center.

As a resident Indian I’d categorically say that Modi’s party and associates were responsible for vandalizing of churches and rape of a nun among other things. But a pliant police machinery and the alert cyber squad of the party effectively deflected the blame. BJP has too often copied some tactics of Jihadists when it comes to the Christian minority. Paradoxically in the interests of vote banks, BJP has taken to Muslim pampering in many instances.
